There’s a lot to be said for the tried and the tested… especially when it comes to spending those hard-earned vacation dollars. And they don’t come much more “tried and tested” than Cedar Grove Lodge. One of Muskoka’s older resorts, Cedar Grove Lodge has been hosting vacationers for close to 70 years. And after visiting the resort it’s easy to see why people keep coming back.

  Located on the shores of beautiful Peninsula Lake near Huntsville, Cedar Grove boasts 19 cozy cottages, all of them nestled among tall pine trees, and all equipped with fieldstone fireplaces. Many of the top-end cottages even come equipped with some great names – the deluxe “Raven”, with its Whirlpool bath tub; "Hermit Thrush” with its commanding view of the lake; and the fireplace cottages "Bobolink",  "Lovebird" and "Snowgoose”. The resort also has eight well-equipped and cozy main lodge rooms. 

  Set amid 75 acres of rugged Muskoka countryside, winter at Cedar Grove can be a time of unlimited activity, or a time of relaxation. Some of the activities winter brings to Cedar Grove include cross-country skiing on their 15km of cross country ski trails, ice skating on the lake, ice fishing using their ice fishing hut, tobogganing, and snowshoeing. Nearby Arrowhead Provincial Park and Algonquin Provincial Park also feature cross-country ski trails. If you prefer downhill skiing there is downhill skiing at nearby Hidden Valley Highlands Ski Club. Snow tubing is also available nearby. The Lodge is located near the Algonquin and Hill and Gulley Snowmobile Trail Systems. Or attend a local Winter Carnival or special event.

After an active day outdoors relax in the Hot Tub Hut, or by the fireplace. Cedargrove’s games room includes ping-pong, pool tables, indoor shuffleboard, arcade games, a lounge with a big screen T.V., and movies, of course.

Great food at Cedar Grove Lodge

Cedar Grove’s newly renovated dining room in the main lodge offers a variety of delicious home cooked meals. Along with the lakeside-view you’ll enjoy delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinner. Enjoy a full breakfast before you start your day, featuring eggs any style, waffles, pancakes, cold cereal, hot cereal, yogurt, thick multigrain toast, and more. A 'no lunch option' is available during the winter at a reduced rate. Or you can have a packed lunch. Dinners are superb -- how does homemade French Canadian pea soup with maple syrup, followed by chicken Wellington with herb jus sound? Or perhaps you’d prefer the pickerel with lemon parsley butter, or the fussili tossed in herbal olive oil with fresh grilled vegetables and marinara sauce? Whichever of these delightful dishes you chose, you’ll want to follow it up with the wild Muskoka strawberry shortcake, that’s for sure.

  A winter stopover at Cedar Grove needn’t break the bank. Daily rates are from $95 - $140 per person, per night, including 3 meals. Off-season rates and special package rates are often available. For further details, call 1-800-461-4269 or visit the website at www.cedargrove.on.ca.
